We delve into the Gameweek 3 data this evening in our first members article of the week. Up front, we assess Bournemouth, Chelsea and Liverpool’s lone forwards, whilst there’s plenty to analyse in the centre of the park, as we take a look at some standout statistics from Villa, Palace, United, West Ham and Norwich.

Hi Guys, some great team ideas here
I wanted your thoughts on mine
Mig
Skrtel Shaw Cameron
Ayew Mahrez Silva Sanchez
Benteke Aguero Gomis
really going after 3 striker formation - would you make any transfer? I have 1 FT and 0 ITB
THANKS!!-
ur good. im not a fan of sanchez but he could come good... id save the xfer since i presume u know what ur getting with sanchez and still went down that rd.. i think hazard will outscore him heavily over the next few weeks.
-
-
Ok some questions...
1. Pedro is price locked for a few more days right?
2. Would you rather have (long term)
- A) Darmian, Shaw, Payet and Benteke
- B) Darmian, Targett, Pedro, Lukaku
- C) Shaw, Targett, Pedro, Benteke-
c
-
That's my thoughts too (Y)
-
-
targett gonna be idle after next game so if there is option D i might look at that. how long is long term over next 7 game id take benteke over lukaku.. over season id take lukaku...
-
For a while really. I prefer Benteke to Lukaku and just have Lukaku left over from wc for the monies.
Targett is bench fodder, no big deal, I'd get a 3.9 if there was one which would let me keep Darmian over Shaw (I got Darmian for 5.6 and shaw for 5.5 and that .1 is a big one)
I would rather keep Darmian over Shaw so that's the issue here really I could even keep Lukaku another week and if he gets something the weekend sort it out next week
-
-
-
Ruddy, Gomes
Kolarov, Ivan, O'shea, Huth, Ward
Silva, Mahrez, Mata, Payet, Westwood
Aguero, Pelle, Gomis
Good? -
i think so, someone said locked until friday i think.
A.-
reply fail to Tranny Baps
-
Reply fail level top of the page
-
that's how i roll.
-
-
Top, top post.
-
It's aok (Y)
-
-
Morning yall whats new on here?
-
'ello DZ how're you all today?
-
I am skeptical on Gomez, you can let me worry about the folly of my ways.
Louvren decent alternative? Don't want to spend 5.5 really....but want a Liverpool defender ASAP.
cheers.-
I have Skrtel!
I think hes worth 5.5 -
Gomez, Migs, Skittles, Clyne. Once you have all of them, get Lovren.
-
Skreetle and Migs are alright alternatives
-
ugh, thanks all. i guess.
-
Clyne I'd say
-
Sounds like you want Gomez!
After recent performances I don't really see him being dropped
Rogers brings Moreno on with him on the pitch and it's all good
-
-
I have found a potential alternative to the headache decision which has been driving me crazy all day, thoughts?:
Original options:
A: Gomis + Chadli
B: Wilson + Toure
New alternative:
C: Gomis + Toure (but have to downgrade Kolarov+Morgan ---> Sagna + 4.0 defender)-
B. Still stronger
-
Sagna is not an alternative.
-
I replied to you on the last article, not a good idea
-
I agree with your comment on the other article.
but to be fair my rotation is so good with the other 4 defenders that it doesnt matter if the 4.0 played or not. but ye Kolarov over Sagna seems essential-
Fair enough, if your other 3 defenders are good enough you can go with Sagna, but beware the necessary transfer or having Sagna rot on your bench.
-
-
-
D: Gomis + Coutinho (includes Kolarov)
-
D by a mile
-
actually not by a mile but still D
-
-
Makes no sense?
-
allows me to keep gomis and gives me liverpool coverage?
-
But Budget??
-
Im just not sure about the whole Wilson vs Gomis thing.
My other strikers are Aguero and Diouf
-
-
-
-
-
B
-
D
-
-
Overthinking it if it involves dropping Kolarov
-
so its still B then.
Does my option D above tempt anyone? -
B, all day every day.

This

Sorry mates lost at bottom of page
Ruddy, Gomes
Kolarov, Ivan, O'shea, Huth, Ward
Silva, Mahrez, Mata, Payet, Westwood
Aguero, Pelle, Gomis
Tasty enough? or needs more seasoning?-
Too much Chelsea.
-
lol
-
Don't ask for advice just to lol @ people especially when they are right
-
sorry mate, Just took it as a joke.
-
it had to be a joke Ayew just has something up his ....
-
-
how is too much Chelsea right?
-
Chelsea have conceded 7 goals and 51 attempts on goal (31 of those in the box) in the first 3 games.
That being said "too much Chelsea" when he has only one player (albeit the most expensive one compared with potential returns) is very curt and not good feedback.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Morning DZ, which one to play?
A) Payet (liv)
B) Westwood (SUN)
Cheers!-
wait for the pressers
-
For??
-
-
A)
-
Do you still think West Ham can still score goals away to Liverpool when all their strikers are out?
-
Maybe not but better chance of Payet contributing to a goal than Westwood
-
Make sense. Cheers!
-
id play westwood but its 50 50
-
I think Payet has higher possibility than Westwood to score more points, but I doubt when it is away to Liverpool. So it is really a 50-50 for me as well.
-
-
-
-
-
For real? Payet obviously, although I did do Young > Westwood this week and am starting Westwood!
-
Payet definitely is more likely to score more points than Westwood, but I am not sure now when away to Liverpool, while Westwood will be at home vs Sunderland. I think Payet is more explosive than Westwood, but Westwood is safer. Still not sure.
-
Be suprised if West Ham can't give Liverpool a game to be honest
-
Cheers!
-
-
-
-
-
Who are the best future buys from those that have fallen?
So far I can see Bertrand, Wally, Baines, Moreno, Firmino, Clichy, Mings, Oscar, Fabregas, tadic, kane and rooney-
Definitely Fabregas
-
tick, tick, tick tick tick, tick, tick tick, tick tick tick tick tick tick.
-
Janmaat as well
-
-
good enough.. dont fancy ur keepers this week. but maybe norwich can get a 0-0
-
Already used my FT on Sakho to Diouf, wish I never done it now, I'd rather have done Hazard Sakho to Shaquri Costa -4 and avoided Hazard drop and got Costa rise, now I'm stuck with Hazard Diouf when I'd much rather have Shaquri Costa, thinking about just doing it for a -8 but I know it's wrong
-
take it on the chin as a lesson learnt
-
Yep I think I have to, I'm in a awkward position of playing carefree last season with lots of aggressive hits paying off, but fell massively from 288 to 20k, trying to find the right balance but minus 8 seems a step too far
-
-
Hit's aren't wrong at this stage
Sounds like you wana do it so do it. You'll make it back and everyone is taking hits.
-
-
Heres a though one! Play 3!
A)Kolarov (WAT)
B)Skrtel (WHU)
C)Cedric (NOR)
D)Richards (SUN)
Its a very good Dilema all home fixtures-
Top 3, did you see the Villa score tonight?
-
5-3!
But did they have any first choice players out-
Richards Guzan and Bacuna missing, rest of the team strong by Villas lowly standards
-
A B C it is interesting that
-
-
-
This
-
-
Abc
-
-
Any love for Giroud around here? has decent stats for the first 3 GW
-
Walcott is a threat! Benteke seems to have better fixtures and form
-
This. Tekkers matching price and better form/fixtures makes it a non-contest. This isnt too say Giroud is bad but he's like 6th/7th in the striker standings.
-
True. Giroud has double the amounts of shots inside the box over Benteke. Not suggesting this means he is a better pick but interesting stat!
-
Early doors and Giroud always has them first timers that get immediately blocked
-
-
don't think Walcott is a threat to anyone..he's not a starter..
unless you mean just a threat to playing 90 -
Walcott a threat? lol
-
Wenger loves Giroud. Do people still not accept this?
-
-
I'm stuck with him but not terribly unhappy about it. He'll do ok.
-
-
This decision is killing me, guys - any help?
Milner -> Mahrez for a (-4) hit?-
save
-
Yep
-
Probably ya. Who else could you drop?
-
-
what do u think about my crazy team :-
guzan
kolorov-gomez-target-huth-francis
silva-coutinho-shaqiri-albrighton-westwood
aguero-costa-benteke
i have the biggest 3 upfront ..tell me ur opinion-
0.5 itb
-
its the same as everyone else
-
no one has costa aguero benteke as strikers
-
-
-
Is Clyne / Skrtel worth it over Gomez?
Or just get Gomez and ride his value-
get gomez
-
Skrtel is worth it
-
why skrtel over clyne i ask?
-
Bps! He got more than Clyne in every game even though he got 2 YC
-
Better goal threat although I too prefer Clyne. % owned is a factor as well to consider.
-
cheers
-
-
-
-
Want to get Hazard out to avoid the price drop, best replacement? rest of midfield is Mahrez Henderson and Sterling
-
Alexis
-
Thanks
-
-
Silva, Sanchez, Pedro, Fabregas take your pick.
-
Thanks mate thinking pedro for differential atm
-
-
-
Hazard going to drop tonight?
-
Looks that way
-
Unlikely
-
Hm. I Have Eriksen doubtful and a potential drop on Hazard.
Don't know who to transfer out. -
Why do you think unlikely mate?
-
Wildcard sellers and sits 99 on fpl stats I think he will survive
-
Risky business but im gonna rely on you! on your head be it 😉
-
Falls are harder to predict.
He most likely will drop at some stage this week all the same.-
Before a home game to Crystal Palace?
-
Seems like a crazy time to sell last seasons top scoring mid doesn't it?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
He's had a huge number of net transfers out but because of high ownership his % owenership decrease and net transfers out to ownership ratio aren't as high as they have been for other players that haven't decreased in price.
If I had to guess no price drop tonight.-
Before Saturday then?
-
Possibly, I wouldn't worry about it though his price will shoot back up when he gets his annual fill of goals and assists at home to Crystal Palace/Pardew!
-
I agree and you won't need the transfer to get him back plus the inevitable reshuffle because you have spent the cash.
-
Submitted an article on captaincy for GW4 which includes an in depth write up on why the knee-jerk sale of Hazard may burn people this weekend. Keep your eyes posted!
-
-
-
-
-
-
Will Mané play this weekend?
-
Even if he does, he wont score much imo
-
-
I want to get Mertesacker out.
Right or wrong?
If right, who should I bring instead?
Other defenders; Kompany, Darmain Saylor and Targett.-
Kompa
Targett (bench fodder), if you want cash for upgrade elsewhere -
Kolarov double up?
-
Cant, got silva and kun already.
-
-
-
Is this too heavy on defense?
Myhill (or Butland) - McCarthy
Kompany - Shaw - Azpi- Skrtel - Targett
Hazard - Silva - Mahrez - Puncheon (or Montero) - Redmond
Aguero - Gomis - Wilson-
Yes
-
you could go 442 but the midfield is far too spread put. Downgrade Puncheon, upgrade Redmod.
-
Mids are a little light so yes imo
-
dont listen to em... there is so much value in cheap mids at the moment.. mahrez punch and redmond should all stay in ur team
-
-
Bench 2 for this GW:
a. Gomez WHU
b. Richards SUN
c. Williams MU
d. armian swa-
A C/B
-
BD
-
D!?
-
No confident with MU defence vs an on form Swansea attackers.
-
Oh wow I read this wrong I thought it said play 2
-
You're severely underestimating LVG's dullard defence wins leagues approach
-
No team can get 38 CS anyways. So I'd avoid on form attackers, form over fixture. And I think Liverpool vs a strikerless West Ham is a safer choice.
-
-
-
My reply above.
-
for the record, as a United fan I'm still benching Darmian as I think we could concede because it's possible LVG gets a bit riskier with the attack because we NEED goals and it leads to concessions as we find that balance..that being said, United's defensive form is better than Swansea's attacking form IMO
-
You remind me Kane vs Chelsea last season.
-
outliers are exactly that, and shouldn't be considered when making rational decisions about the abilities and ceilings of clubs and their 'pieces'
-
Never mind, it is just my opinion, I am not asking everyone to agree with me.
-
I don't know why you're being stand-offish, but OK. Have a nice day.
-
I don't get you? I just share my opinion, and am not forcing anyone to agree with me, just a discussion, but I am now being labelled as stand-offish? That is not my intention.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
i see a 1-1 in the swansea man utd game so id bench cd
-
-
Sakho to Benteke for a hit too much of a gamble?
-
If Sakho is out, then not a gamble.
-
yes, maybe for free after ManU
-
Do it.
-
Yeah. Wait a week. And if Benteke smashes it you cam confidently go ahead and make the transfer.
-
-
Hazard + Deeney -> Silva + Benteke worth a -4?
-
it could work out, but I'd rather do Deeney -> Wilson and not take a hit
-
Seconded
-
-
haz is captain material this week... insane to get rid
-
-
Make Transfers until Friday or play WC?
-
depends how many transfers ur gonna make?
-
I know there's the whole theoretical "add to the price rises by not wildcarding" but we had a few 30-100 point hits on the weekend by people who failed to activate it when needed so I wouldn't take the risk. Especially as the chances of being the tipping point transfer for a price rise are like 1 in 50,000
-
I don't know if I was the first person to mention that theory last season (which I highly doubt) but it is an interesting one even if, like you said, the odds are astronomically against you for having any impact on the price change haha..
-
It is a great theory and if FFS bought into it then we could produce a noticeable effect on the price changes but if I were really selfish, I'd promote everyone else to do it and not risk it myself behind closed doors. As it is I just don't want to be responsible for someone fudging a 50 point hit.
-
exactly..especially now that they've removed the tactical advantage
-
-
-
-
if you're planning to WC anyways, there's no point messing around and risking forgetting..opponents can't see that you've wildcarded anymore
-
Cut the waiting crap and just do it.
-
-
I really don't fancy taking hits, but would have to take one to get Sakho out..
Or play 4-5-1 instead?-
I think I might save the transfer and just play Westwood
-
-
Any thoughts on whether Stones will be a consistent starter if he does go to Chelsea?
-
It really is a lotto
Terry Cahill Zouma and Stones all have a half chance of playing -
luis went and warmed the bench for a season there is no way of knowing...no one walks into that side(cuadrado etc)
-
Personally after the start they have had, yes he will be in the PL at least. Pace is killing them at the moment.
-
Interesting, hoping Chelsea tightens up at the back but like Shakhtar said they need to get faster I mean that was the main reason why JT got the red. Hopefully they find some fitness
-
